Well, yes and no. Struggling yes - always have been. Big bosses etc. don't seem to realise that to have a car, rent half a house and lead a reasonably normal life cannot be achieved on less than £20k - not without help, anyways. So, I'm still trying to pay off the personal debts I needed to learn to drive, get through uni and start renting a house (deposit that was paid 3yrs ago!!). Totalling about £4k now, they finally put me on £20k and I'm clearing £400pcm and still eating healthy. It's tough to always say no, never be able to try out anything exciting etc. etc. but hell just so long as the director gets his company car that's all fine :D
